What does dekameter per liter (dam/L) measure?

Dekameter per liter (dam/L) measures distance traveled per litre of fuel consumed, with one dekameter equal to ten meters.

Why convert from dam/L to gallon (UK)/100 mi?

Converting from dam/L to gallon (UK)/100 mi helps compare metric-based fuel efficiency with UK imperial consumption measures for regulatory, reporting, or cost planning purposes.

Are there any challenges with this conversion?

Yes, the conversion involves large numbers and differences in unit scales, so results should be handled carefully, especially where precision is critical.
